About Program

Our high school summer program is specifically for high school aged international students between the ages of 13 – 18. In this program, they come to China and we arrange for them to study Chinese at a university campus or language school. Language lessons are usually for the earlier part of the day; in the afternoons the kids are integrated into the Chinese culture, we take them to visit a pre-selected Chinese high school for cross cultural exchange. We want our international candidates to see for themselves how their Chinese peers approach high school life, their learning culture as well as participating in activities altogether.

Other benefits include:

- A unique way for high school kids to travel to China with purpose
- An exciting combination of language lessons, daytime trips and cultural activities
- Home-stay accommodation
- Close supervision from our coordinators particularly for candidates under the age of 18
- Opportunity to mingle with Chinese peers

An Unforgettable Cultural and Educational Journey

Studying abroad in China as a high school student was one of the most eye-opening experiences of my life. The mix of daily Mandarin lessons, cultural immersion, and exchange with Chinese students gave me a whole new perspective on education and life. I not only improved my language skills but also built lasting friendships and gained confidence living in a new environment. The staff were incredibly supportive and made sure everything was safe and enriching. If you’re looking for a program that challenges you and helps you grow academically and personally, this is it

High Language to Remember

As a high school student, going to China with GoAbroadChina was my first time abroad. I was nervous at first, but I quickly made friends and felt at home. We studied Chinese in the mornings and did cultural activities in the afternoons. I learned how to write Chinese characters and even tried calligraphy! The program took us to famous places like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. I stayed with a host family who showed me their way of life. They were warm and always ready to teach me new things. I came back more confident and open-minded. My Chinese speaking improved so much in just a few weeks. It was the perfect mix of learning and fun.

A Summer I’ll Always Remember

Joining the Chinese Language & Cultural Immersion program was one of the best decisions I’ve made! The language classes were super helpful, and visiting a local Chinese high school was an unforgettable experience. I loved the balance between learning, cultural trips, and fun activities. The homestay made me feel like part of a real Chinese family, and I made so many new friends from around the world. The staff were really supportive and made sure we were always safe and having fun. I would definitely recommend this program to any teen who wants to explore a new culture and improve their Mandarin skills!

Exploring chinese culture

Attending the Chinese Language & Cultural Immersion Program for Teens was one of the most eye-opening experiences I’ve had. The blend of structured language learning and real cultural exchange was exactly what I was looking for. Mornings were filled with engaging language classes that helped me build a strong foundation in Mandarin, and afternoons were reserved for cultural activities and school visits that allowed us to connect with local Chinese students. I would recommend this program to anybody who wants to explore the real China,

Chinese Language & Cultural Immersion Program for Teens – Go Abroad China

This program was a life-changing experience! As a teen, I was nervous about traveling so far from home, but Go Abroad China made everything smooth and comfortable from the start. The language classes were fun, interactive, and perfectly suited for our age group. I was amazed at how much Chinese I picked up in just a few weeks!

The cultural activities were equally exciting—we visited historic sites, learned traditional crafts, and even took part in a tea ceremony. I also made friends from around the world, which made the whole experience even more unforgettable.

The staff were incredibly supportive and made sure we felt safe and cared for throughout. If you’re a high school student looking to learn Chinese and experience China in a fun and meaningful way, I can’t recommend this program enough!

Rating: 10/10 – Truly unforgettable!

Explore China

As a teenager, I wanted to do something fun and different for my summer break. GoAbroadChina made it really easy and safe for someone my age to explore China. We had Chinese language classes in the morning and fun cultural activities in the afternoon. I learned to write Chinese characters, say simple phrases, and even make dumplings. We also tried traditional dancing, which was super fun. Our teacher was kind and helped us when we didn’t understand. I made new friends from other countries, and we all had a great time together. It was my first time being far from home, but I felt safe and happy the whole time. I took so many pictures and shared cool stories with my family. I really want to go back again next summer

Learning, Living, and Laughing in China

GoAbroadChina’s High School Language & Cultural Immersion program was one of the best choices I’ve ever made. Every day felt like an adventure—from learning Mandarin through fun, hands-on classes to making dumplings with my host family. Visiting the Great Wall and exploring local markets made me feel like I was truly living in the culture, not just observing it. My host family treated me like one of their own, and I still keep in touch with them. I made amazing friends from all over the world, and we shared so many unforgettable memories together. This program didn’t just help me improve my language skills—it helped me become more open, confident, and independent. I came home with a bigger world view and a heart full of stories. If you're thinking about joining, do it—you won’t regret a single moment.
